Hello Internet. I've always been a fan of Mountain Biking.. I did a lot when I was younger but never actually spent the money on a REAL bike.. and now I've decided it's time.
I have a Marin Hard Tail street bike with some tiny little front suspension and I've been using that a while.
Basically I've rented Kona Dogma's, and Trek's, Specialized and others and gone out many times and I've always loved the ride. I'm seriously considering getting a trek right now.
My brother has the 2009 Trek EX8 and it's a Beautiful bike, rides like a dream.. I'm not very huge on riding, but I do it every 2 weeks or so in the better months of the year. Go all over the western States to ride. But like I said before I've NEVER had a good bike for myself. I've rented nice stuff though.
I've decided I might get the 2010 Trek EX7 this year. it's a decent price, and is the same frame as the EX8, Just doesn't have TREK's special rear shock. Can anyone tell me some good information regarding Trek bikes. I really want the EX7, but I'm having a hard time spending that much for a bike. I know it will get plenty of use at Gooseberry Mesa, but I'm no PRO, I'm not an extreme biker so do I really need to spend that much.
What makes the EX7 so much better than the EX6.. I read that the Trek EX6 was a good all around, great bike for starters. It's the best Price/Performance that they make in this range.
What does everyone think.. My brother says the EX7 is as low as I should consider, why is that? is the 5, 5.5 or EX6 all that bad?
